Abstract
By using a quantum-chemical approach, B2PLYP-D2/6-311+G**//B3LYP/6-31+G*, we have carried out a detailed study of the assembly of 1-pyrrolines from N-benzyl-1-phenylmethanimine and phenylacetylene in the superbasic medium KOtBu/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). In this way, we have considered, both theoretically and experimentally, the mechanisms of the assembly through a concerted and stepwise nucleophilic cycloaddition and have addressed the side processes accompanying the assembly. It is found that the assembly via the concerted cycloaddition is kinetically more favorable than that via the stepwise cycloaddition. At the same time, the reaction of C-vinylation of aldimine with phenylacetylene occurs with a similar activation energy as the concerted cycloaddition and leads to the formation of 2-aza-1,4-pentadiene. The anion of 2-aza-1,4-pentadiene is an intermediate for the side processes leading to the formation of triarylpyridines and 1,3-diarylpropan-1-ones. Triarylpyridines are formed through the concerted cycloaddition of the next phenylacetylene molecule to 2-aza-1,4-pentadiene, while 1,3-diarylpropan-1-ones are formed as a result of the hydrolysis of 2-aza-1,4-pentadienes. It is found out that the mild conditions for the assembly of 1-pyrrolines (60 °C, 15 min) relate to the formation of complexes in the KOtBu/DMSO superbasic medium, where the anion is readily accessible for the nucleophilic attack by the phenylacetylene molecule.

Abstract
The site-selective modification of amino acids, peptides, and proteins has always been an intensive topic in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and chemical biology due to the vital role of amino acids in life. Among the developed methods, the site-selective introduction of fluorine functionalities into amino acids and peptides has emerged as a useful approach to change their physicochemical and biological properties. With the increasing demand for life science, the direct fluorination/fluoroalkylation of proteins has also received increasing attention because of the unique properties of fluorine atom(s) that can change the protein structure, increase their lipophilicity, and enable fluorine functionality as a biological tracer or probe for chemical biology studies. In this feature article, we summarized the recent advances in the synthesis of fluorinated amino acids and peptides, wherein two strategies have been discussed. One is based on the fluorinated building blocks to prepare fluorinated amino acids and peptides with diversified structures, including the transformations of fluorinated imines and nickel-catalyzed dicarbofunctionalization of alkenes with bromodifluoroacetate and its derivatives; the other is direct fluorination/fluoroakylation of amino acids, peptides, and proteins, in which the selective transformations of the functional groups on serine, threonine, tyrosine, tryptophan, and cysteine lead to a wide range of fluorinated α-amino acids, peptides, and proteins, featuring synthetic convenience and late-stage modification of biomacromolecules. These two strategies complement each other, wherein transition-metal catalysis and new fluoroalkylating reagents provide powerful tools to selectively access fluorinated amino acids, peptides, and proteins, showing the prospect of medicinal chemistry and chemical biology.

Abstract
An amino-controlled regiodivergent asymmetric synthesis of CF3-containing spiro-pyrrolidine-pyrazolone compounds is described. With alkaloid-derived squaramide as catalyst, the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of α,β-unsaturated pyrazolone with diethyl 2-((2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)imino) malonate offered adducts in excellent yields, dr, and ee. While the cyclohexanediamine-derived squaramide was employed, the reaction afforded a series of structure isomers through a switched umpolung reaction.

Abstract
Enantiopure α-Tfm-proline and α-Tfm-pipecolic acid were synthesized starting from commercially available diesters and ethyl trifluoroacetate. A Strecker type reaction on intermediate chiral Tfm-oxazolo-pyrrolidine and -piperidine provided the corresponding nitrile precursor of enantiopure (R) and (S) α-Tfm-proline and α-Tfm-pipecolic acid. The C-terminal peptide coupling reaction of α-Tfm-pipecolic acid has been successfully achieved.

Abstract
The area of fluorinated amino acid synthesis has seen rapid growth over the past decade. As reports of singly fluorinated natural amino acid derivatives have grown, researchers have turned their attention to develop methodology to access complex proteinogenic examples. A variety of reaction conditions have been employed in this area, exploiting new advances in the wider synthetic community such as photocatalysis and palladium cross-coupling. In addition, novel fluorinated functional groups have also been incorporated into amino acids, with SFX and perfluoro moieties now appearing with more frequency in the literature. This review focuses on synthetic methodology for accessing complex non-proteinogenic amino acids, along with amino acids containing multiple fluorine atoms such as CF3, SF5 and perfluoroaromatic groups.

Abstract
A versatile synthetic protocol of aza-Friedel-Crafts alkylation has been developed for the synthesis of quaternary α-amino esters. This operationally simple alkylation proceeds under ambient conditions with high efficiency, regioselectivity, and an exceptionally broad scope of arene nucleophiles. A key feature of this alkylation is the role associated with the silver(I) salt counteranions liberated during the reaction. Taking advantage of a phase-transfer counteranion/Brønsted acid pair mechanism, we also report a catalytic enantioselective example of the reaction.

We herein report a high yielding protocol for the direct α-allylation of easily accessible trifluoropyruvate-derived imines using Pd-catalysis. The reaction gives access to a variety of different α-allylated-α-CF3-amino acids in a straightforward manner, starting from commercially available trifluoropyruvate. We also provide a proof-of-concept for an enantioselective protocol (up to er = 75:25) by using chiral phosphane ligands.
